Source like a pro,even on your first order
Finding a factory you can trust should not take ten years of experience. ProofVue is sourcing intelligence, not a marketplace: it verifies who you are really dealing with, scores them against your order, and connects you directly, so you negotiate from knowledge, not hope.
ProofVue is in private development and testing. There is nothing to open yet; the page below shows what it does.
Illustrative preview of the product. The registry counts in the strip below are the real ones; the figures inside this panel are drawn for the layout.
From rough ideato a factory you can defend
Six stages, in the order experienced operators work them. Each one hands the next something concrete, so nothing rests on hope.
Brief
Define the product, construction, materials, quantity, target cost, and timeline. ProofVue spots what is missing before you reach out, so your first message reads like it came from a buyer who knows what they want.
Start a briefDiscover
Search by capability, process, material, order size, location, and certification. Every result explains why the factory fits your brief, not just that it exists.
Search the registryVerify
Real factory or trading company. In-house or subcontracted. Every fact carries its sources and verification dates, and the known unknowns are named instead of hidden.
Verify a candidateCompare
Pass, fail, or unknown against your brief, line by line. Project Fit stays separate from Evidence Confidence, and you can add a factory you already know privately.
Compare factoriesContact
The verified channel, a personalized introduction, qualification questions, and a sample request. You reach out once, prepared, instead of five times, guessing.

Questions,answered plainly
What is ProofVue?
Sourcing intelligence for founders. Bring a supplier you found, on Alibaba or anywhere else, and it tells you whether it is a real factory or a middleman, scores it against your order, surfaces stronger options from a verified registry, and connects you to the factory directly. Not a marketplace, it takes no cut.
Where does the data come from?
Public records and disclosures, checked before anything lands. Inside the product every fact names the evidence behind it, so you can see what a claim rests on instead of taking a number on trust.
Do factories pay to be listed?
No. Nothing here is sponsored or promoted, and no facility can buy a higher position. Ranking reflects evidence only.
What do I get for free?
ProofVue is in private development. The previews on this page show the planned experience; the registry, matching, comparison, and tools are not open to visitors yet. Joining the waitlist does not create an account or give product access.
When does billing start?
There is no billing on this site. Joining the waitlist only asks us to email you when ProofVue opens; it is not a purchase or a pricing commitment.
Is the contact data real?
Yes. Every channel is researched from each facility's own website and verified by two or more independent signals before it goes on record.
Where does ProofVue stop?
At your final selection. ProofVue takes you from a rough brief to a verified, compared shortlist and a prepared first contact. The conversation, the order, and the money move directly between you and the factory: no RFQs, no payments, no production tracking, no cut. That boundary is why factories and buyers can both trust the record.
Is ProofVue for sourcing agencies?
ProofVue is being built for founders and agencies working from the same verified record. Access and plan details will be shared when it opens.
